The occurrence of such an event before his eyes caused the Alchemist to feel a sense of dread that didn't arise from the cold.
At this moment, he had employed everything at his disposal, all his abilities to solve and perceive problems.
Yet the situation before him hadn't been properly resolved, and no wise solution that everyone could accept emerged.
In other words, it was a reality she couldn't face or accept at this time.
This was when he wanted to tackle the issue, to handle and solve the problem himself.
He must clearly understand what kind of judgment he should make about the situation.
He also needed, at this time, to be clear about what he truly wanted from this affair.
No more need for too many other thoughts about the problem.
It was then, harboring the trepidation and unease in his heart about Violet,
that he seemed to choose to calmly accept the problem as he saw it.
Such a situation in itself didn't warrant any more consideration of the problem.
